The Curtis Liggins Indications 'What it is? ' Hi, would like to put this up for sale... Excellent condition Not sure of current price Thanks in advance

Don't let me down, along with I keep trying big faves of mine. For any rocksteady fans, this is a great take on a Fred Hughes tune...

Not that I'm obsessed with this tune or anything I just noticed this 45 up for sale... All the copies I've seen pics of on Dr Bird have the pop out centre. This has a set centre...like some of the recent 'Sanctuary records' Trojan et.c re-issues Not saying it's not legit...just curious https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GLEN-MILLER-WHERE-IS-THE-LOVE-FUNKY-BROADWAY-7-45-UK-ORIG-DICTOR-BIRD-DB1089-EX/162911944981?hash=item25ee4f0115:g:QoIAAOSwXqVajSoI

My lack of common sense amazes me I set up.my decks in the garden yesterday and they were sat in direct sunlight for a good hour before mr f*ckwit decides to test the system and sticks a 45 on...why is it jumping I ask myself as I watch the record curl up like a dead spider! I touched the metal platter afterwards and you could fry an egg with it I put the 45 back in it's sleeve and took it somewhere cool...miraculously it has gone back to.It's correct shape Proper numpty

This is my messy music corner Sanctuary from a crazy world

I think she was Bob Marley's publicist through Island It was quite a good 'beginners guide' As a white brit, roots reggae is understandably more resonant to a black audience as the lyrics speak of black history and slavery, as well as African roots I am falling more in love with this music, just as we white boys dug the blues in the early 60's It's a shame the skinhead crowd find it boring, although I'm secretly glad they stay in their cul de sac

I think the term Skinhead reggae describes the music recorded in Jamaica (and the UK, eg Symarip, Pama Dice et.c) which was post rocksteady (with the fast organ and guitar licks, and different beats) but generally recorded pre 1971 (unless DJ voiceovers are included)....I suppose it is a similar generalisation to the term Northern Soul It's a shame, as there so much good reggae the skinheads are missing out on (eg good heavy roots, and rockers), but presumably they are only allowed to dance a la moonstomp and must follow the rules at all times to fit in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhhKieDSQ2Y Great Ja interpretation of this, with Slim Smith on vocals

And it includes the great Keep on Movin, covered so well by the Wailers

Dont think this is using a sample, but just the Bass line, and rhythm

Isley Brothers - Little Miss Sweetness I've had this tune on a 'MFP Introducing...' LP for donkeys years, and the bass comes at ya like a train.My album has a crack in it, so I picked the tune up on a 45 (UK issue or reissue I think), the problem is whoever engineered it virtually removed the bass so the track is dead If anyone knows or has this track on a 45, with full bass complement, please let me know..maybe the US issue does? Cheers Rob

Still looking

bump ;-)

Thanks Dean, but I would really like an original issue (or demo) Regards Rob

thanks

on Soul click Many thanks!

JEez, thats hard..I never knew about the miscarriage I have a 'mash-up' of this, using Augustus Pablo's 'East of the river nile' backing........I think her singing stands out even more on this

ok, thanks for the replies

This is a great song, mixing a distinctive high in the mix rolling JA snare sound, slow beat, haunting horns with a yearning soulful vocal I can understand the appeal to collectors, especially as it was issued on a UK label (Doctor Bird) I was interested in how/when this became in vogue...was it on a dj playlist? (I would have thought it would be too slow to set the dancefloor on fire, unless it was at the local youth club and you got to canoodle!) Maybe it's just gained legendary status through collectors? Can anyone shed any light? Many thanks

yep definitely a large number of the finest rocksteady ever made nice selection as always Pete
